Sun 200mm/f3.9

My boy recently conquered his fear of his balance bike, and now he wants to get out on it all of the time.

Finally got to play with a 70-210mm F/3.5 Series 1 and wow, they weren't kidding it's so awesome!

and for sale(already converted) https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php​?t=1434652


70mm WIDE OPEN at 3.5

Turns out I had it way off, 210mm was not the most magnification, it was the least!

70mm produces the most and boy does it get close! here's it with a 10mm tube.

( it is for sale in my signature already converted...)

If anyone needs adapters I just posted some in the FS section.

Will try to get more pics from the Vivitar Series 1 soon, just waiting on the tripod mount for it.

Beautiful rose from a very good lens!

Heya,

Wide on APS-C with old MF lenses will be difficult. The inexpensive ones are 28mm at the widest generally. Wider than that, in old MF lenses, is very rare and tends to be costly. You could look at things like the Rokinon 16mm F2, Tokina 17mm, otherwise, an 18-55 STM is inexpensive and wide.

For MF lenses, I like the old Tamron 28mm F2.8 Adaptall 2. Very sharp wide open. Well made lens. Tends to be $40~50. But 28mm on APS-C isn't very wide.

I have two 28mm's, the Super Takumar & the Tamron. Ultimately I like the Tamron better (F2.8 and sharp at F2.8, plus very close focusing distance). That said, the Super Takumar 28 F3.5 is a great lens, very sharp too, and inexpensive.

Super Takumar 28mm F3.5 on APS-C to give you an idea of what you could expect ($40~50 lens with $10 adapter?):

Without having to get a new adapter, any one of the OM 28s are pretty good. The 28/3.5 is really good if you don't need the speed, though my old copy had a distinct fall off in sharpness and contrast at f/16 (which is the min aperture). I don't know if I have any OM 28/3.5 photos in my gallery, but I'll see if I can find any older posts to put in there.

If you want something better than that, and close to the performance of the best available, the C/Y Distagon 28/2.8 can be had in the $300-400 region. I have a lot of D28 photos in my gallery, feel free to poke around.

I would also recommend the EF-S 24/2.8 for APS-C cameras. The Yashica ML 28/2.8 is also really good and fairly cheap.

I'd be willing to sell my Yashica ML 28/2.8 and also my Vivitar Series 1 28/1.9, PM me if you're interested.
